Site Preparation Tips
The right location makes all the difference for a seamless setup! Check out these essential tips to prepare your site and ensure a smooth, stress-free installation:
- Clear Site Access: Ensure there’s an open, obstacle-free route from the road or driveway to your shed’s new spot. Trim low branches, check for utility wires, and clear any debris to guarantee a smooth, hassle-free delivery.
- Level Grading: Use a reliable leveling tool to ensure your shed pad is even. A properly leveled surface helps prevent shifting, settling, and alignment issues, ensuring your shed stays stable for years.
- Strong Foundation: A shed’s strength starts with what’s underneath. A gravel base or concrete pad keeps your shed level, secure, and built to last, preventing shifting and sinking while providing lasting stability.

Great shed moving experience!
Curtis delivered my beautiful High Barn with a loft in July 2016 to a spot I thought I would want to leave it in forever, but this year we decided to build a garage in that location so I asked Curtis if I could hire him to come back and move it to my new location. It’s now in it’s forever home and still as structurally sound and beautiful as the day he delivered it three years ago! I love the quality craftsmanship and I love Curtis’ great customer service even more! He arrived on time and was finished in the exact amount of time he said he would be! Thank you, Curtis!
